Today we are making pasta with pumpkin sauce. Every week I share at least one pasta recipe. They always do incredibly well on both Instagram and my blog and besides, I just absolutely love them myself. Since this winter, I have also become addicted to pumpkin. I actually just forget in spring and summer how delicious it is until I make another dish with pumpkin and I'm totally in my element. This pumpkin pasta is an example of that. The sauce is made of pumpkin, garlic and cream and the dish is further finished with cress and chili flakes. You can make it as spicy as you like.
